History of cultural centers at CSU @thedanielazahra
More than 50 years ago, students of color fought to make changes on campus. Two in particular were Manuel Ramos and Paul Chambers, who wrote a letter to former CSU President William E. Morgan. This was the start of the cultural centers we have now. “This is our university, and we do not wish to destroy nor mar any portion of it,” Ramos and Chambers wrote. “It is our aim to
improve it — to make it an outstanding educational facility for all who study here.” The main requests in the letter were funding for programs for minorities, a rise in education in minority history and culture and increasing recruitment in low-income, ethnically diverse areas. “These students felt that little or no effort was being made to address the racial disparities on campus, so they staged a series of protests to voice their indignation,” reads the Black/African American Cultural Center history
webpage. In response to the letter and protests, Morgan created areas for classes and curriculums centered on ethnic studies but mainly focused on the development of Project GO (Generating Opportunities). This program addressed the needs of students of color, specifically in an educational and academic environment. It targeted ethnically diverse students of low-income status. Project GO sought to encourage higher education and pro-

vide students with financial and academic support, according to library archives. After roughly a decade of establishment, Project GO underwent a major change; the one program and office became five offices, which made up the Group Advocacy Program. The offices at this time were El Centro/Chicano Student Services, Black Student Services, Native American Student Services, Disabled Student’s Programs and Women’s Programs.
Once in a while, a band comes along and creates bonds between community members so deep that it truly hurts when they disappear. Last August, local band Yail went on hiatus, and the Northern Colorado music scene, while accepting of this break, was heartbroken. Lucky for them, Yail has returned and is ready to bring everything they have back to the stage. Members Jackson Watkins, Nick Visocky and Larson Ross reunited late January to play a show at Pinball Jones Campus West, gathering a crowd of fans who filled the venue. The Northern Colorado music community embraced their return by thrashing and singing along to their music.

Susan Rice lectures on family history, lessons from positions By Noah Pasley @PasleyNoah
A former ambassador to the United Nations took the stage at Colorado State University to discuss her family and career, as well as offer her take on the importance of working together in an interconnected world. Susan Rice, former ambassador to the U.N., former adviser on the National Security Council and the author of “Tough Love: My Story of the Things Worth Fighting For,” hosted a conversation with Greg Myre, the national security correspondent for National Public Radio, Tuesday night at the Lory Student Center Grand Ballroom. Rice and Myre spoke in detail about her parents. “I spend a good amount of time in my memoir talking about myself in a very personal way, but I began the book with a fairly detailed story of my parents,” Rice said. “I couldn’t begin to tell the story of who I am ... without telling the story of who they were and where they came from.” She spoke about her parents and grandparents and their stories as immigrants, first-genera-
tion students and former slaves. Rice said her mother had very little money to go to school after an accident with her grandpa that depleted the family savings and after being denied a Radcliffe College scholarship on account of her race.
“I write in the final chapter that I think our domestic political divisions are currently our greatest national security vulnerability.” SUSAN RICE FORMER AMBASSADOR TO THE UNITED NATIONS AND ADVISER ON THE NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL
However, Rice said her mother was able to attend Radcliffe after her principal and high school debate coach appealed to Radcliffe and a nonprofit organization and got the money. Rice said her father was born into segregated South Carolina in 1920 to his father, Walter
Rice, a former slave. Walter fought for the Union after emancipation and became a primary school teacher during Reconstruction before being driven out by the Ku Klux Klan, Rice said. “That was my father’s inheritance,” Rice said. “He decided ‘cause he was a child of the Depression, that he was fascinated by economics.” After getting his degree, Rice said her father was drafted into WWII, during which he served with the Tuskegee Airmen. “My dad thought that it was absolutely ridiculous that Black people had to prove to white officers that we could fight and fly as well as anybody else,” Rice said. She also spoke on her father’s resentment of the “irony” of fighting for a military that was fighting for the “freedom of everybody but his own people.” “He couldn’t go off base and get served at a restaurant, but he saw German (prisoners of war) being served in those same restaurants,” she said. He eventually got his doctorate in economics and then became an assistant professor at Cornell University, eventually

becoming governor of the Federal Reserve, Rice said. Rice expanded on her family’s perseverance and resilience and how it has contributed to her own family. “Jake sounds like you,” Myre said of how Rice’s son seemed similar to her. “(He’s) interested in politics, so quite naturally it follows that he would become the president of the Stanford College Republi-
cans,” Myre said. Rice took the moment to say that the political division in her family has given her an “appreciation” for what a lot of fellow Americans are feeling. She also said that, after her experience with her parents’ divorce, her family has to be “mindful of the imperative of staying together.”

“Thankfully, all four of us share that commitment,” Rice said. Rice also shared her story of being the “boogeyman” in the media after sharing “talking points” given to her by the CIA that later turned out to be inaccurate. “Within days, I was branded a liar, incompetent, untrustworthy: mostly by Republicans in Congress,” Rice said. Rice said that her daughter, who was 9 years old at the time, started complaining about the images of “men coming at her out of walls.” Health professionals determined that her daughter was having a stress reaction to how the media had treated Rice after the incident. “Regardless of your personal party, the politics of personal destruction comes at a cost,” Rice said. Rice reflected on her role as national security adviser during the 2014-16 Ebola epidemic and used that experience to explain the importance of coordinating action between countries for the common good. She said the director of the Centers for Disease Control passed around a new chart at an NSC meeting indicating nearly a million people could become infected if nothing happened between late August and December 2015. Rice said that the mortality rate for Ebola was 50-75%, and the chart indicated well over 500,000 people could potentially die if action wasn’t taken quickly. Rice described the action plan for trying to control the spread of Ebola by giving President Barack Obama unprecedented advice for deploying 3,000 American military personnel to West Africa to set up Ebola treatment centers and hospitals. She also recalled Obama’s cabinet calling for aid from many other countries, and at the end of the epidemic, 28,000 had been infected and 11,800 had died. Myre wrapped up the discussion by asking Rice what advice she would give to young people as they try to process this “very complicated world.” “The most important thing I would say to young people is it’s your future,” Rice said. “So the last thing you can afford to be is indifferent.” She said it means participating in the democratic process, registering to vote and “encouraging all those around you to vote.” “It matters profoundly how the United States is led and how we lead in the world,” Rice said. Rice said it’s important to familiarize yourself with others and understand each other better. “We sink or swim together,” Rice said. “I write in the final chapter that I think our domestic political divisions are currently our greatest national security vulnerability. But I also say that we have the history and the capacity ... to overcome those divisions.” Noah Pasley can be reached at news@collegian.com.

their similar heritage, according to the APACC “about us” webpage. The office was officially established in 1984.
>> from page 1 These offices provided a place for minorities to go and seek support, as well as make relationships with those who were of their same backgrounds, according to Student Diversity Programs and Services. “It’s comforting to know that I have somewhere safe to go where I have people that can support me and people that I can talk to,” said Bemnet Tefera, a first-year African American student. The Asian/Pacific American Cultural Center was created later than the others, in response to a campus survey.

“These students felt that little or no effort was being made to address the racial disparities on campus, so they staged a series of protests to voice their indignation.” BLACK/AFRICAN AMERICAN CULTURAL CENTER HISTORY WEBPAGE
The most recent office to be established is the Pride Resource Center, first known as GLBT Student Services, which officially opened in 1998. In 2009, the Group Advocacy
Program came to be known as the Student Diversity Programs and Services. Each of these programs have only further developed through the years, and now the seven advocacy offices have their own budget, staff and office spaces. “My role has always been developing or creating programs that assist and support retention of our Latinx students at CSU,” said Guadalupe Salazar, director of El Centro. Each of the seven offices, though they focus on a certain group, are there to support and serve all students. They provide the students with several opportunities, especially in their transition to CSU. “I come to El Centro every day,” said KC Carracedo, a second-year student. “The population is majority white, and I was used to always being around a very diverse population, so it was kind of a culture shock. This space helps a lot of people be
comfortable. It’s offered a lot to people.” Last fall after a racial incident, students united to march at the Fall Address where President Joyce McConnell announced the Race, Bias and Equity Initiative as a way to address the issues of race, bias and equity at CSU.
“This space helps a lot of people be comfortable. It’s offered a lot to people.” KC CARRACEDO SECOND-YEAR
The initiative accepts proposals from the campus community, reviews them and works to implement them the best way possible in the community. According to a Collegian article, the RBEI hopes to empower
the campus and make it safer for everyone. McConnell recently appointed Blanche Hughes, vice president for Student Affairs, to lead the initiative, and in December, she finalized the core team. In an email McConnell sent to students in fall 2019, she explained the opportunity for students to send proposals for their voices to be heard and solutions to be made. “CSU is committed to supporting the recruitment and retention of all students by recognizing the inherent value of diversity,” reads the website for the Office of the Vice President for Diversity. Since 1968, there has been an increase in resources for students in efforts toward diversity and inclusion, especially with the cultural centers that were created.

ASCSU discusses Operation Bear Hug, Funding the Giants By Charlotte Lang @chartrickwrites
The Associated Students of Colorado State University discussed two bills meant to keep students from feeling alone. These bills focused on Operation Bear Hug and funding for artwork aimed at diversity for students on campus. Only the Operation Bear Hug bill passed. Operation Bear Hug Senator Josh Johnson brought forward a bill that confirmed details about Operation Bear Hug’s funding from the Board for Student Organization Funding. As the bill had already been passed by BSOF, the vote from the senate was one of unanimous consent to pass it. Johnson said Operation Bear Hug is an event meant to raise awareness for suicide prevention throughout the community. Meant to be more interactive than a seminar or lecture, Johnson said Operation Bear Hug takes the form of an obstacle course that teams work together to race through. “This is an obstacle course where you did not start or finish alone,” Johnson said. “It’s very important that we build it into the lifestyle of all of us and our friends that we ask for help when we need it or before we need it.” The event will also include teddy bears with the suicide hotline number on it that students can take home. There will also be a giveaway of giant teddy bears to teams that place in the obstacle course race. Senator Ryan Kropp said the entire design of the course
is to focus on community and suicide prevention. “As you can probably tell, there is a lot of intentionality in this,” Kropp said. “Everything that is a part of this event is specifically designed to raise awareness for suicide and suicide prevention.” The bill was expedited, meaning it was voted on without being sent through committee and was passed with a 27-00 vote. Funding the Giants A bill asking the senate for $20,000 to go toward the installation of temporary art displays failed with a 9-17-3 vote. According to the bill, “This bill will feature several different pieces recognizing the contributions and values that marginalized identities bring to our University.” Director of Traditions and Programs Will Sharpe, the author and presenter of the bill, said the bill would seek to purchase approximately four or five art pieces to place in the liberal arts quad on campus. The artwork would be in response to bias-motivated incidents on campus, Sharpe said. “Given some of the bias-related events that have been happening on campus, I really believe that passing this bill will be very important and symbolic to show that we do not stand for bias-related incidents and that we support our diverse student community,” Senator Sara Dudek said. The main objections against the bill included the price, as well as concerns of escalation of bias-related incidents and tension among students.

Former Senator Ethan Burshek said that there are students on campus who believe this artwork would serve as bait that would attract more bias incidents around them. Sharpe said that people may target the artwork, but this shouldn’t dissuade the senate from voting for it. “People are angry, and people are crazy, and I’m not gon-
na say this can’t happen on campus because I’ve seen some pretty messed up stuff on this campus,” Sharpe said. “I’m not putting it past them, but I’m saying that if we shy away, then we might not be doing our due diligence.” Other senators shared worries about whether or not the artwork would be inclusive enough.
Sharpe said he never promised this bill could solve everything, but it is part of ASCSU’s responsibility to try to do something to help the campus culture. “Loneliness is something that impacts a lot of people, and I don’t want anybody to ever feel like that,” Sharpe said.

CSU celebrates its 150th birthday with dancing and cake By Serena Bettis @serenaroseb
Celebrating Colorado State University’s Founders Day never seems to grow old — even after 150 years. Mascot CAM the Ram, the CSU Pep Band, CSU Cheer and more came together Feb. 11 at the Foundry Dining Center to wish the University a happy sesquicentennial. Students had the opportunity to sign a large birthday banner and receive what CSU SOURCE called “once-in-a-lifetime” swag. “It’s a good day for us all to come together and remember where we’ve come from,” said Dawn Burton, spirit coordinator and cheer coach. “We’re so blessed and lucky to be here on this campus, so for us to all be able to get together and recognize that we’ve been strong for 150 years, it’s amazing.” This year’s Founders Day Medal has been awarded to Elizabeth “Libbie” Coy, a member of CSU’s first graduating class and the first woman to graduate from the University. The medal is currently on display at the Avenir Museum in the University Center for the Arts. CSU Chancellor Tony Frank and President Joyce McConnell appeared before the Colorado Legislature Tuesday morning to deliver the University’s landgrant mission and accept an official proclamation sponsored by state Sen. Joann Ginal, according to SOURCE.
colleges. However, this land was not officially owned by the federal government and instead belonged to Indigenous peoples, which CSU’s land acknowledgment recognizes. With this in mind, CSU strives to be a leader in research, education and outreach programs. Cheerleader and freshman Mack McMillan said representing the school and its legacy means a lot to her, and she is excited to continue to do so at future sporting events and ceremonies. CSU’s commitment to continuous improvement is why junior and chemical and biological engineering major Sydney Villers thinks celebrating 150 years is so important. Villers said she knows many students at smaller colleges whose schools are closing permanently. “It’s made me especially grateful to have a school that’s successful now, that is doing things, but (that) has also made such great plans and has left such a good impact for the next 100 years,” Villers said. “I’m really grateful for all that CSU has done in its 150 years. I’m really grateful that people have put in place programs for the future of CSU.” Serena Bettis can be reached at news@collegian.com .

HIGHLIGHTS OF NEW YORK FASHION
WEEK 2020
BY CHELSEA EVIC
It is hard to believe we are well into the year 2020. If anyone else still can’t believe it, I’m with you. However, time moves on and so does FASHION. As you’re probably aware, we are in the midst of New York Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2020-2021. Fabulous, innovative and elevated looks have been circulating all over social media. Here are some of the highlights of NYFW so far: When I saw the AREA’s collection featured on the Who What Wear Instagram, I gasped. The way the elegant jewels are draped is a design that really caught my attention.

STYLEOVERVIEW NYFW STREET STYLE At fashion weeks, what is worn off the runway is almost as important as what is worn on. Fashion influencers, celebrities and jetsetters alike all bring their A game in street style.
HATS Many are saying that Tom Ford took inspiration from LA’s casualness for his Fall/ Winter show in Los Angeles and I definitely agree. It’s different from anything else I’ve seen on the runway this season. The casual cotton tees and oversized denim aren’t typically what you’d think of for winter, but Ford pulls it off somehow.
COATS
Badgley Mischka’s collection put me at ease and gave me the winter fabulousness I was looking for. The subdude black and gray tones, subtle detailing on the coats and hints of sparkle are so gracefully done.

Rams on the Ice to bring ice skating for Black History Month By Charlotte Lang @chartrickwrites
A temporary ice skating rink will be coming to Colorado State University in order to educate students about historical Black figures for Black History Month. Plans for an ice rink on The Plaza have been spoken about among the Associated Students of Colorado State University, and now they’ve partnered with the Black/ African American Cultural Center in order to make it more of a learning experience. Taylor Millson, deputy director of Traditions and Programs for ASCSU, said the skating area will be a 30-by-40-foot synthetic ice rink on The Plaza. The rink will be up Feb. 13 and 14 from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. each day. “It’ll be hard to miss,” Millson said. “Everyone is going to see it.” Jaylen Spires, a student with the BAACC, said the event will be called Rams on the Ice, and it will aim to be an experience where stu-
dents can learn about important Black figures throughout history. “The BAACC office will be making posters depicting activists, sports players and other Black figures who have made history,” Spires said. “There are going to be pictures and descriptions with their name,” Spires said. “Students who go to the rink will be able to read and learn about these people.” Millson said the event will also include playlists to recognize African American artists. According to the event post on the ASCSU Instagram and Facebook, this event will bring students together to recognize “the contributions of Black/African Americans who have internationally and domestically trailblazed the representation of Black bodies on and off the ice.” Millson said there will be other fun things around The Plaza, including food and hopefully an appearance by CAM the Ram. “We’re hoping everyone will be able to share their love for CSU,”
Millson said. Spires said this event is important because it’s never been done before on campus. “This is actually pretty big, and it’s going to be on The Plaza,” Spires said. “Thousands of people walk across The Plaza every day. This actually shows support from the school and shows the school stepping up to build more awareness around recognizing Black history.” Millson said the partnership with the BAACC office is important because it offers the perfect opportunity to educate students in a fun way. “It’s really a perfect way to educate people on something that’s so important because I think Black History Month is very important, considering it’s only a month, and there are so many things that deserve to be recognized,” Millson said. “I’m really glad we have this platform and opportunity.” In past meetings and discussions about plans for the ice rink, ASCSU President Ben Amundson had expressed excitement for the

event. “It’s gonna be one of the coolest traditions in CSU history in my opinion,” Amundson said. Millson said that excitement from students has grown as word has spread around campus. “Even if you’re not the best skater, it’s a good way to learn something,” Millson said. “It’s a good chance to appreciate campus and
have a good time all around.” Plans currently have the rink scheduled on The Plaza, but if the weather is bad, students can find it set up in the Lory Student Center Theatre. Students who want to take part will be able to borrow provided skates at the rink. Charlotte Lang can be reached at news@collegian.com.

The Larimer County Sheriff ’s Office has identified a man found deceased in the area of Old Flowers Road and Pingree Park Road in Bellvue, according to a press release published Wednesday. The deceased person has been identified as 53-year-old Stanley Scott Sessions of Greeley, and his cause of death has been ruled a
homicide, according to the press release. The Sheriff ’s Office was notified of a possible deceased person near the roadway Monday morning, at which time officers responded. The Sheriff ’s Office said that at this time there is no known threat to the public, and anyone with information related to the case is advised to contact LCSO investigator Justin Atwood at 970-498-5143.

Colorado State University broke ground on the Temple Grandin Equine Center, marking a historic day for the College of Agricultural Sciences. The TGEC, located off Overland Trail near the B.W. Pickett Equine Center, will house the University’s undergraduate classes for equine science, equine-assisted activities and therapies programming and animal therapy research, according to a CSU public relations media advisory. “Horses kind of saved me; … horses were one of the few places I was not bullied,” said Temple Grandin, a CSU professor of animal science whom the center was named after, at the groundbreaking. Adam Daurio, director of administration for the TGEC, said the center is not just a facility, but an initiative to help advance and sustain the animal therapy industry through evidence-based practices. “It is for the betterment of horses and humans alike,” Daurio said at the groundbreaking. According to the TGEC website, the center is meant to be a place for all, where individuals with developmental, physical

and emotional challenges can heal, students can learn, therapists can practice and scientists can research. This building is separate from the Temple Grandin Equine Center at Spur, CSU’s campus at the National Western Center in Denver. That building project will break ground in April, according to the media advisory. “We never really care as
much about the facility as we do about having the facility that allows us to do the tremendous work that we’re going to be able to do,” said CSU President Joyce McConnell at the groundbreaking. “When you scratch all of the pomp and circumstance away, everyone is committed to a better world and transforming lives.” Serena Bettis can be reached at news@collegian.com.

Top 5 unconventional Valentine’s Day gifts for students By Katrina Leibee @KatrinaLeibee
Editor’s Note: This is a satire piece from The Collegian’s opinion section. Real names and the events surrounding them may be used in fictitious/semi-fictitious ways. Those who do not read the editor’s notes are subject to being offended. With Valentine’s Day coming up, many people want to think of a unique gift to give to their significant other. Further, college students may not be able to afford traditional Valentine’s Day gifts such as jewelry, fancy dinners or
flower arrangements. If you’re in need of a unique cost-efficient gift to give, look no further. 1. Pay your roommate to leave the dorm For freshman, it can be difficult to get alone time with your significant other. This Valentine’s Day, it might be a good idea to bribe your roommate to leave the room. Offer them $15 to leave for a few hours, and if you really want to splurge, offer them $30 to leave for the night. If you don’t feel like this is financially feasible for you, try offering to buy them anything they want from any of the express dining halls. Hopefully, they will find these offers fair, and you will be able to offer this unique, thoughtful gift to your partner. 2. Finally define the relationship This gift is perfect for all the frat boys who are absolutely terrified of commitment. Chads and Brads, chances are you have been hooking up with a girl, consistently spending time with her and
treating her like a priority. After about six months of this, you have decided it’s time to tell her you are not looking for anything serious because you are the worst type of person. If this sounds like your situation, let her finally call you her boyfriend this Valentine’s Day. If you don’t feel like that’s right for you, that you don’t want to commit to the girl who has introduced you to her family and quietly said “I love you” at least three times while you’ve pretended to not hear her, finally just end things altogether so that she can move onto someone a lot better than you. 3. Swipe them in at the dining hall If you cannot afford a nice, romantic evening out at a restaurant in Old Town, the dining hall works just as well. Not only does the dining hall provide a lot of great food options, but if you are dating someone who lives off campus, this will likely be their first real meal in weeks.

You can even bring your own candle and tablecloth to be that annoying couple that acts like that on Valentine’s Day. You cannot go wrong with this inexpensive, convenient gift.
“College students may not be able to afford traditional Valentine’s Day gifts such as jewelry, fancy dinners or flower arrangements.” 4. Send them a solicited nude Guys, have you ever sent an unsolicited picture of your d*ck to a female friend or even your girlfriend? Maybe you were met with anger or were even blocked. This Valentine’s Day, actually ask for consent to send nudes. Most women will genuinely appreciate this because rarely do
they ever get the chance to actually say yes or no to a d*ck pic. Even if she says no, the fact that you asked is a sign of respect and decency, making it the perfect gift to give this Valentine’s Day. 5. Buy her some Colorado State University jewelry Can’t afford diamonds this Valentine’s Day? No worries, the CSU Bookstore has got you covered. The CSU Bookstore offers a great variety of earrings, necklaces and bracelets for a reasonable price. If your partner has been hinting that they would like a nice pair of diamonds, CSU themed jewelry is the perfect alternative. Your partner can showcase their school spirit and their relationship at the same time. No need to splurge on something your partner actually wants when the Bookstore is offering something as great as earrings with the CSU logo on it.

2 | BASKETBALL BORDER WAR
Preview: The next battle of the Border War By Kaleb Poor The Branding Iron
On Saturday, Wyoming men’s basketball will host the Colorado State Rams in the 232nd installment of that great intercollegiate rivalry known as the Border War. The battle pits the underdog Cowboys team against a Rams lineup that has been solid this season. Through early February, the Cowboys have earned just six wins compared to the Rams’ 17. This will be the second battle this season in the long-running Border Wars series. The Rams toppled the Cowboys 72-61 in early January, handing UW their 11th loss of the year. In their previous contest, CSU physically outworked the Cowboys, muscling their way to a critical 42-26 rebounding advantage and scoring 14 second-chance points. The Rams also capitalized on double-digit turnovers, a habit that has plagued UW throughout the season. “They got some offensive rebounds and set the tone early,” said Cowboys head coach Allen Edwards. “We struggled with physicality today. We have to be consistent for 40 minutes to be able to win basketball.” The Rams will be unable to rely on home-court advantage in this match, but Cowboy fans should temper their excitement at this news. The Rams boast a fairly consistent record both at home and away, sitting at 10-3 at home and 4-4 away as of early February. However, Rams fans shouldn’t get too excited either. While CSU sits at second place in Mountain West play, Boise State is nipping at their heels, and a loss to the last-place Cowboys could be devastating. In fact, it would appear the Cowboys have everything to gain while the Rams have a great deal to lose. In this contest, watch to see whether the Rams can rise to the occasion or if the Cowboys will find vigor in the freedom of few consequences. Expect the Rams to put a lot of attention on Hunter Maldonado, the Cowboys’ most dynamic and consistent scorer. The 6-foot-7-inch guard posted a 25-point game the last time he faced the Rams but struggled to break the 20-point threshold again until their recent game against the University of New Mexico. If the Rams can force the ball into the hands of Wyoming’s less

prolific scorers, they may be able to take some of the wind out of their sails. For Wyoming’s part, ball control will be a key factor. The Cowboys have struggled with turnovers and second-chance points all season, and they cannot expect to have any room to give away free buckets. Whatever the outcome is, the contest between these two historic schools should prove to be another energized and exciting endeavor that ignites the rowdy passion of Wyoming’s fan base. Wyoming and CSU have battled it out 230 times in men’s basketball contests, and the Border War tradition stretches all the way back to Jan. 27, 1911. At that time, Colorado was in its 34th year as part of the United States of America, and Wyoming was approaching its
21st birthday. When these schools first met on the hardwood, CSU was known as the Colorado Agricultural College and toppled UW in a thrilling high-octane matchup that Colorado won 20-17. More recent showdowns have, mercifully, been of the higher-scoring variety. Since then, Wyoming has maintained a winning record against their neighbors to the south, and UW leads all time with 134 wins compared to CSU’s 97. Since the 2009-10 season, however, CSU has the advantage of 13-8. Wyoming vs. CSU men’s basketball will tip off at 2 p.m. Saturday, igniting the 232nd edition of the long-running and historic Border War series. Kaleb Poor can be reached at BI@uwyo.edu.

BASKETBALL BORDER WAR | 3
Women’s hoops team hosts Pokes in Pink Out Border War By Bailey Shepherd @B_Sheps
It’s rivalry week for Colorado State women’s basketball as the Rams prepare to host the University of Wyoming for another installment of the Border War. This will be the second and final meeting of the season between these two teams, and with CSU picking up a 56-49 win during their visit to Laramie in January, the Rams will be looking to complete the series sweep against their noisy northern neighbors. While CSU may have come out on top in their previous matchup, the Rams have been in a bit of a funk lately. After dropping their last game at home against conference-leading Fresno State, the Rams extended their losing streak to three games and sit at ninth in the conference standings with a record of 10-13 (4-8 conference). If CSU’s last couple of games haven’t gone as planned, then the same can be said about the visitors. The Cowgirls have been enduring a losing streak after suffering backto-back losses against Boise State and New Mexico in conference play. However, Wyoming currently sits at fifth in the conference standings with an even 11-11 record (7-6 conference). With three of Wyoming’s final five games of the season being against opponents in the bottom three spots in the conference, the Rams should see this game as a must-win matchup if they wish to improve their conference standing before the looming Mountain West Tournament. The Rams’ defensive effort was the key to victory in Laramie in January. CSU forced the Cowgirls to turn the ball over 15 times and did well to close down Wyoming’s sophomore guard Karla Erjavec, keeping her to 2-10 shooting on the night and forcing her to turn the ball over five times. While the Rams hang their hat on their impressive defensive abilities, CSU will need to improve their offensive output if they want to get a win against Wyoming. Picking good shots and executing on those open looks have been a struggle for the Rams in recent games, but if they choose to play a more pass-first style of offense in this game, the Rams could very well come out on top. As for the Cowgirls, sloppy offense and poor shot execution is what put them at a disadvantage against the Rams. Wyoming’s guards must be more vigilant when protecting the ball, as 11 of their 15 turnovers came from their guards. Wyoming will also need to work on creating more high-percentage shot opportunities to avoid replicating their 35.6% shooting from the last game. The Rams are ranked eighth in the conference in 3-point defending. The Pokes shot 40% from deep against the Rams in the last

game, and they rank third in the conference in 3-point shooting percentage. With that being said, Wyoming will want to utilize that effective 3-point shooting against the Rams if they want to make that offensive push to get a win. Players to watch: WYO - Tereza Vitulova, sophomore, forward Tereza Vitulova has the hot hand for Wyoming this season. The sophomore has put up double-digit point totals in her last five games, including two 20+ point performances and one 30 point performance, which was her season-high. Vitulova has been Wyoming’s most prolific scorer all season, averaging 14.5 points a game, which is the seventh-best in the conference, while also averaging a teamhigh 5.5 rebounds per game. In her last matchup against the Rams, she contributed 16 points but failed to assert herself on the glass, with the Rams keeping her rebound total to just two. The Rams will have to be particularly stalwart when guarding Vitulova around the perimeter, as she has proven to be deadly from behind the arc, shooting 42.4% from deep on the season. CSU - Makenzie Ellis, graduate, forward Makenzie Ellis proved instru-
mental in the Rams’ win against the Cowgirls earlier in the season, as the 6-foot-2-inch forward poured in a career-high 22 points while collecting a commanding eight defensive rebounds to secure the win for the Rams. Ellis has been a consistent source of points for the Rams all season. With the exception of Ellis’ performances against Fresno and New Mexico, she has accumulated double-digit scoring totals in 10 of her last 12 games and is averaging a team-high 10.7 points on the season. Makenzie is a dynamic twoway player and will be an essential part of the Rams’ defensive effort and will be hoping to add to her team-leading steal total and cause problems on both ends of the court for the Pokes. This Border War matchup will take place on Saturday, Feb. 15 at Moby Arena. CSU will be wearing their all-pink uniforms for the game, as the theme for the matchup is a Pink Out. They will also be promoting a partnership with UCHealth. The Rams’ jerseys will feature the names of cancer warriors, similar to how the men’s team did on Jan. 22 against Fresno State.

Going over the Border: Q&A with coaches and players from CSU By Ryan Loberger @LobergerRyan
With the Pokes on the ropes, Colorado State basketball has a chance to sweep the University of Wyoming in the regular season series in men and women’s basketball for the first time since the 19992000 season. Men’s basketball will head to Laramie for a matchup with the Cowboys while the women’s team will host the Cowgirls at Moby, with both teams playing at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 15. Before tipoff, we caught up with both coaches for the Rams and redshirt seniors Nico Carvacho and Andrea Brady for a Q&A about the Border War rivalry. Men’s coach: Niko Medved What does the Border War mean to you and the team? “It’s huge. It’s the Border War. It’s Wyoming. It’s always a big game regardless of what’s going on. It’s one that the fans care about and people in Northern Colorado (care about), CSU fans care about, Wyoming fans care about, so there’s ... always something a little bit extra to that game.” What do you think this game means to the fans? “(For) both teams it’s bragging rights. People want to beat each other. As a coach, we know it’s another game. It’s another key conference game, but it does (mean something). Whenever you play Wyoming, you’d be lying to say it doesn’t mean something, and I know it means more to their fans than it does to our fans.” Going for a sweep, how does a win help momentum and bragging rights to take both games against them?
“Every game out you’re working, and we’ve worked hard to put ourselves in (this) position, so every game is huge. I know it’s a cliche, but it’s huge just because it’s the next conference game, and we’ve got to continue to play well.” Men’s player: Nico Carvacho What does the Border War mean to you and the team? “It’s Wyoming versus CSU. I’m not from Colorado, but being here for as many years as I have, it means a lot to the fans, and that’s what’s really important as a rivalry. (They’re only) 45 minutes away. It’s the Border War rivalry game, and it just means a lot to go out there and get a win, especially for the fans.” What do you think this game means to the fans? “These are the types of games that fans mark their calendars (for): (the Border War), Air Force and CU. To win it is big. It gets the community more involved.” Going for a sweep, how does a win help momentum and bragging rights to take both games against them? “I don’t do much with bragging rights. It’s one of those things (where) you’ve got to go in there and do your job. (We’ve) just got to go out there and play the best we can. We know it’s gonna be tough. They’re gonna come out firing, so we’ve just got to go out there, have fun and play with confidence and grind it out.” Women’s coach: Ryun Williams What does the Border War mean to you and the team?
“It’s a huge rivalry. It’s a fun rivalry. I think you’ve got prideful states and two prideful fan bases that this is an important game to. We take great pride in representing CSU in this game.” What do you think this game means to the fans, especially with the UCHealth event happening that night? It’s a cool opportunity to play a big-time rival but more importantly to partner with UCHealth and raise awareness and appreciation to what they do. This game (has) a lot of meaning in a couple different ways.” Going for a sweep, what do you expect from the Cowgirls and how they’ll come out in this game? “Wyoming is playing good basketball right now, and they’re gonna come out hungry to not let us get a sweep; we know that. Wyoming is a very good shooting team. We’re going to have to do a good job defending the (3-point line). We’re going to have to guard them and play them with a tremendous amount of toughness. We expect a close contest, and (we’re) going to have to make plays down the stretch to win that game.” What does this game/rivalry mean for you personally? “We paid attention to (the rivalry) growing up. (I) came to a Border War game back when Fennis Dembo was playing for the Wyoming Cowboys, (and I) came to Moby Arena to watch a game. I remember I came to watch the game with U.S. Senator Mike Enzi. It’s a fun game for both states, but for me personally, I have a few memories of it.”

Women’s player: Andrea Brady What does the Border War mean to you and the team? “It’s just a big game because it’s two schools, 45 minutes from each other, on the border. I think there’s a lot of state pride on both sides, and the rivalry has gone on for a long time, so you always want to win this game, especially for us with it being at home.” What do you think this game means to the fans, especially with the UCHealth event happening that night? “I think it’s a cool opportunity to combine not only our community and Wyoming’s community but the UCHealth community too. I don’t
think we’ve had a lot of interaction with them in the past, and this is a cool opportunity to bring everybody together and use basketball as a platform to focus on something bigger.” Going for a sweep after beating them in Laramie, what do you expect from the Cowgirls and how they’ll come out in this game? “That was a really good win for us, a really good team game. It’s always tough. Wyoming is a tough place to play, and we want to defend our home court and get Moby going next weekend. It’ll be a big game for us.” Ryan Loberger can be reached at sports@collegian.com.
Thoughts about the Border War from the Wyoming Pokes By Kylee Harless The Branding Iron
As the Border War comes up, the Branding Iron got to sit down with some of the Cowboys and Cowgirls of the basketball team to see how the Border War impacts their games and what the rivalry truly means to them. “We are more comfortable with our fans, our supporters, than going on the road,” said Jake Hendricks, a senior guard for the Cowboys basketball team, when asked how it feels to be playing at home. “Everything feels a lot better (when we’re) at home, and it is a lot easier to get
into the flow of things.” Hendricks stands at 6 feet, 5 inches and has seen his fair share of Border Wars. Due to how full the auditorium can get during Border Wars, the BI asked Hendricks about how it feels to see people come out and support the team. He said when the team sees the fans, it makes them play harder due to the energy the fans give them. While Hendricks talked about the fans, Hunter Maldonado, a redshirt sophomore guard standing at 6 feet, 7 inches tall, talked about why Border Wars are so special to him. “I’m from Colorado Springs,
(and) they didn’t recruit me,” Maldonado said. “Just playing them and that being the school I wanted to go makes it that (much) more of a game to me. Plus, I get to show them what they’re missing.” After talking with the Cowboys, the BI sat down with the Cowgirls to hear their thoughts on the Border Wars. While the Cowboys will be playing at home, the Cowgirls will be playing at CSU. The Cowgirls, however, aren’t phased. “We are excited to go and play, and we lost at home, and we are excited to go to Fort Collins and come home with a win,” said sophomore Alba Sanchez
Ramos, a guard and one of the starting five players for the Cowgirls. Sanchez Ramos is 6 feet tall and from Madrid, Spain. The BI asked Sanchez Ramos how she feels about the community that will follow the Cowgirls to Fort Collins. “It is really nice because here, at home, it’s nice to see fans, but then to see them come watch us in Fort Collins, it means a lot,” Sanchez Ramos said. Lastly, the BI got to sit down with Quinn Weidemann. Weidemann is a sophomore, standing at 5 feet, 9 inches tall, and is also one of the starting five players. “I think we just have to fight
harder and go harder and make more shots,” Weidemann said when asked about how she feels about playing in Fort Collins. The last question we had for Weidemann was what community meant to her and the team. “It makes us feel good,” Weidemann said. “We get a good fan base wherever we go, and we use the crowd to our advantage to keep us fired up and (get) us excited to play.” The Cowgirls will play CSU in Fort Collins on Saturday at 2 p.m., and the Cowboys will play CSU in Laramie on Saturday at 2 p.m. Kylee Harless can be reached at BI@uwyo.edu.

Editor’s Note: All opinion section content reflects the views of the individual author only and does not represent a stance taken by The Collegian or its editorial board. The printing press is one of the uncontested champions of all inventions. It made the mass spread of information needed for our modern world possible. Now because of the internet, a lack of attention span and many other factors, there are people who don’t read books, and frankly I’m worried about them. According to the Pew Research Center, 27% of adults in America have not read a book in any capacity in the last year. In 2015, the amount
NOPE
of adults who had read a piece of literature (novels, short stories, poems or plays in print or online) in the past year was down to 43.1%, according to the National Endowment for the Arts. Less adults are reading literature on their own time, and that is terrifying. Reading builds critical skills throughout our lifetimes. The BBC says that it increases our emotional intelligence by having people share different perspectives with different characters. They also say it can keep us mentally active which can potentially stave off dementia. Keith Oatley, a cognitive psychologist at the University of Toronto who was interviewed by the Washington Post, says, “People who read more fiction were better at empathy and understanding others.” So, reading makes you a more empathetic person, and,
&
quite frankly, wouldn’t you think more empathy is exactly what we need in our current world? That’s just the social aspect, not to mention how important it is for humans to continue to learn. One of the best ways to get that continued education once you leave school is to keep reading and to keep reading all kinds of things. College is an environment where students have to read books they are assigned. Once that environment is gone and no one is forcing someone to pick up a book, people usually stop. This is strange to me because getting to choose all the books I’m going to read is by far more fun than reading the books I’m assigned. We could be the generation of people who turn this trend of lost literacy around. We could be the most empa-
thetic and most knowledgeable group of people in the last couple hundred years. We just have to do our part and continue to read.
“So, reading makes you a more empathetic person, and, quite frankly, wouldn’t you think more empathy is exactly what we need in our current world?” If you’re that person we all know who loudly and proudly likes to say how much they hate the act of reading, then please put on some audiobooks because that’s not a valid excuse to stop learning. If you’re lost on what to read, I get it. There are so

many books, and it can feel overwhelming to have to choose one to start with. I would recommend “The Best American Nonrequired Reading” series, which is a yearly anthology of hidden gems from around the country. The content is hand selected by a group of high schoolers located in San Francisco and Ann Arbor, Michigan, edited by an amazing author every year. It’s a great starting point into all different types of literature, and it can be the only book you read all year if it has to be, although I’m hoping you’ll read more. Learning to love reading is one of the most important awakenings you can have, at least in my opinion. Stop by the library, a secondhand store or Barnes & Noble and find your next favorite book.

People need to stop stigmatizing Karl Marx Cody Cooke @CodyCooke17
Editor’s Note: All opinion section content reflects the views of the individual author only and does not represent a stance taken by The Collegian or its editorial board. Students at Colorado State University should not be discouraged from voting the way they want to just because they see a banner in The Plaza proclaiming “SOCIALISM SUCKS” or because someone might condemn their candidate of choice for being a communist. These claims lack a true historical understanding of the words they use. They try to win arguments by lumping their opposition into a category of hatred left over from the Cold War, a category that is unfairly stigmatized with the word “Marxism.” Americans today have been taught a history of failed commu-
nism, and Karl Marx has been unjustly mixed up in that history. Ironically, by accepting a warped definition of Marxism instead of trying to understand it for ourselves, we actually confirm one of Marx’s proposals: “The class which is the ruling material force of society is at the same time its ruling intellectual force.” In his opinion article for the Washington Examiner, Giancarlo Sopo calls Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders — a candidate who openly labels himself as a democratic socialist — “an all-out Marxist.” Sopo also claims that, throughout his career, “Sanders has been an unabashed apologist” for the “evil ideology” of communism. Sopo concludes by saying that Democrats should come to understand that Sanders is “an unrepentant Marxist.” Sopo barely attempts to connect the ideas of Marx to Sanders’ platform or even define what he means by “Marxist” in his article. This is just one example of our culture’s tendency to lump words
COMIC ILLUSTRATION BY RYAN GREENE @TFOGDOGS
such as “communism,” “socialism” and “Marxism” all under one ideological umbrella. To anyone who shares Sopo’s opinion, these terms may seem synonymous. But this understanding is dangerous, and it threatens to obscure what the term “Marxism” actually means. Perhaps Marxism has such a bad reputation simply because we’ve been raised in a pro-capitalist society. But we should accept an opinion on a subject based on our own understanding of it and engagement with it, not what the predominant attitude toward it is. Marxism is first and foremost a critical approach to understanding capitalist society. Where it gets most of its criticism, however, is perhaps in its view for the future. It’s true that in “The Communist Manifesto,” Marx argues for a global worker revolution and a drastic (if necessary, violent) reorganization of society. However, this was only a prediction. Marx thought such a revolution was inevitable based on
what he had observed in history books and in his own life. Needless to say, it didn’t happen the way he thought it would. The Bolshevik revolutionary Vladimir Lenin made adjustments to Marx’s theories, and what resulted was the communism of the Soviet Union. Our negative understanding of communism has somewhat formed from people in history who manipulated and adapted Marx’s ideas, and we shouldn’t demonize Marx for developments he had no control over. The integrity of his original argument still applies to our lifetime. In his 1883 preface to the German edition of “The Communist Manifesto,” Friedrich Engels, who co-authored the manifesto with Marx, solely credits Marx with the “basic thought” of the pamphlet. This basic thought, summarized as concisely as possible, is the idea that economic production determines the political, intellectual and social structures of every era of history.
In short, economics are closely tied with the formation of social classes and society in general. Marx gives examples of this process throughout history, from early feudal Europe to the French Revolution. This really does seem like a basic thought. Doesn’t it seem obvious that the way a society produces wealth and the way it allows itself to distribute that wealth plays directly into how that society structures itself? This is a Marxist idea, and a look at most American cities today can confirm that capitalism creates classes of haves and have-nots. What Americans know as communism today is not what Marx was proposing. In fact, the ideas that Marx put forward are still taught in universities to this day and for good reason. Instead of using the word Marxism as an insult, we should acknowledge the benefits of the critical assessment of history that Marxism offers. Cody Cooke can be reached at letters@collegian.com.

KCSU IS OUT OF THIS WORLD
CSU All-Star Weekend: Who would compete? By Tyler Meguire, Bailey Bassett & Bailey Shepherd @CSUCollegian
The NBA All-Star break is this weekend, giving players a break from the regular season and fans an opportunity to watch the festival events the break has to offer. The All-Star break features the Rising Stars Challenge, Skills Challenge, 3-Point Contest, Slam Dunk contest and All-Star Game. The Rising Stars game pits the rookies and sophomores against each other. The Skills Challenge showcases the best passers, ball handlers and shooters in the league. The 3-Point Contest features the best shooters, and the Slam Dunk contest gives the best rim-rockers a chance to show what they can do. If Colorado State basketball had its own All-Star Weekend, who would perform in each event? We took both the men’s and women’s rosters and decided where they would land in the AllStar events. All-Star Game For the CSU All-Star Game, CAM the Ram and Joyce McConnell are captains. If the captains drafted teams from the men’s and women’s roster, this is what it would look like. Team CAM Coach: Ryun Williams Starters: Tori Williams, Kendle Moore, Adam Thistlewood, David Roddy, Andrea Brady Reserves: Jamie Bonnarens, Katia Stamatelopoulos, Dischon Thomas, Hyron Edwards, Roichelle Marble Team Joyce Coach: Niko Medved Starters: Isaiah Stevens, Megan Jacobs, Lore Devos, Makenzie Ellis, Nico Carvacho Reserves: Liah Davis, Myanne Hamm, Kris Martin, John Tonje, P.J. Byrd These players have shown exemplary performances all season long. The men’s players have played key roles in the 17-9 record so far. The women’s basketball players rostered on the teams have been clutch all season, playing as a unit and not letting injuries derail their potential. The CSU women’s basketball team has put together an impressive 10 wins and still have six games to round out the season. 2v2 tourney Instead of Rising Stars, CSU opted to do a 2v2 tournament with one woman and man on each duo. The teams play halfcourt and first to score 21 wins. The first round is single elimination, while the championship is a three game series with the first team to score 15 wins.
Each team stacks up fairly, but Brady and Roddy are the most versatile team. Both players body up in the paint and extend behind the arc if needed. Skills Competition Stevens, Moore, Edwards, Thistlewood, Williams Stevens would be the favorite in this competition. He is the starting point guard with great speed and can get to his spots quickly. He shoots 40% from 3-point land. The Skills Competition is a nerve-wracking event that requires mental focus. Stevens is known for clutch daggers and would be great at hitting the last-second three. However, Moore could give him a run for his money. Moore has three more made 3-pointers on the year and is shooting more efficiently at 41.3%. 3-Point Contest Jacobs, Bonnarens, Stevens, Thistlewood The 3-Point Contest is exactly what it sounds like: five racks with five balls placed in five different locations around the 3-point line. Each contestant has 70 seconds to try to get as many of the balls in the basket as they can. Stevens has been lethal from behind the arc this season. This, coupled with his clutch ability, makes him an entertaining competitor in this contest. Thistlewood has been even more potent on the season, shooting 42% from three, which is impressive when you consider he’s taken 112 total threes this season. Jacobs is always ready to take aim from deep, with 31.1% of her 3-balls finding the target this season. Bonnarens will round out the competition, averaging two made 3-pointers per game this season. Bonnarens always has the green light and would make a great addition to the competition. Dunk Contest Roddy, Devos, Martin, Brady, Tonje Tonje goes into the contest as the favorite. Tonje has the most bounce on the men’s team. He excels in transition by using his speed to break free and finish above the rim. Tonje’s combination of power and finesse with his 6-foot-5-inch frame would make for great entertainment in the contest. Roddy is the best competition for Tonje and his likely counterpart in the championship round. Roddy is known for his in-game dunks and would show off vicious dunks in the contest.

Julia Box awarded Mountain West Swimmer of the Week By Matt Davis @MattDavis27
Julia Box was named Mountain West Swimmer of the Week on Tuesday, following the Colorado State women’s swimming and diving program’s key victory last Friday against the University of Northern Colorado. Box, a senior transfer student from the University at Buffalo, was instrumental in the Rams’ victory. She won the individual 100-yard backstroke and butterfly events, with altitude-adjusted times of 56.81 and 56.19 seconds, respectively. Additionally, she placed second in the 100-yard freestyle and propelled the team to victory in the 200-yard medley relay event. Box’s performances in her butterfly events are consistent. Impressively, Box holds an all-time record at Buffalo for her part in the 200 medley relay. Box also posted the Rams’ best 100-yard and 200yard butterfly time last season and is poised to do the same in the 100yard and 200-yard events this year.

The Colorado State track and field team will continue their indoor season in two states this weekend, dividing and conquering to take the Midwest and Southwest. New Mexico will be hosting the Don Kirby Elite Invitational Thursday and Friday. The Rams will also be sending the team’s long-distance runners to Iowa this Friday and Saturday to compete in the Iowa State Classic. The squad is coming off a good showing at the UCCS Mountain Lion Open. The team won six events and achieved three all-time CSU top 10 records. The Rams also swept the hurdles category at the event. This meet was considered a “tune-up” by coach Brian Bedard for the Don Kirby Elite, with many teams bringing tough competition to New Mexico in order to prepare for Mountain West Indoor Championships, which are coming up just later this month. The Rams also had a team member announced as the Mountain West Player of the Week at the meet. Shot putter
Maria Muzzio threw the season’s best shot put, tossing it 52 feet, 1.75 inches. Bedard said that the meet will have “some of the best competition we’ve faced this indoor season.” The Don Kirby Elite, hosted by the New Mexico Lobos, will take place at the Albuquerque Convention Center. Women’s long jump will begin the meet on Thursday at 1 p.m. with women’s and men’s pole vault, followed by women’s high jump at 1:30 p.m. The meet will begin Friday bright and early at 8:30 a.m., beginning with women’s and men’s shot put. The field events will then lead into pole vaults and hurdles occurring at 9 a.m. and 9:30 a.m., respectively. Later in the day will be more relays and some finals for hurdles. The full schedule for the meet can be found on the Lobos’ track and field schedule. The importance of the Don Kirby Elite is twofold; the meet has some of the broadest and best competition the Rams have faced this year, and the location of the meet is also the location of the Mountain West Indoor Championships, occurring Feb. 27-29. Bedard said
that this meet gives the athletes an opportunity to understand what the championships will be like, helping them for future preparation for the championship events. The Rams will be sending 35 athletes, primarily in the sprints, jumping and field, to the Albuquerque Convention Center. The Rams will be sending the team’s long-distance runners to Iowa over the weekend to compete in the Iowa State Classic. The Rams have had a historically successful presence at the invitational. Last year, Kelcey Bedard was named the Women’s Field Athlete of the Week for her performance at the meet, notching the best weight throw for 14 years. Even though the meet has a focus on distance running, the Rams hope to continue their throwing success Thursday and Friday. “I’m expecting this meet to be very competitive,” senior pole vaulter Josie Spitz said of the Don Kirby meet. “There are a lot of really big schools that are coming, which is really exciting because we don’t get to compete with them very often.” Leo Friedman can be reached at sports@collegian.com.
Backstroke, however, is not her normal event. It’s likely that her winning performance in that individual event helped her claim the Mountain West Swimmer of the Week. Box is the first Ram to win this honor since Tonicia Thomas in January of 2018, just before she went on to break the women’s team record in the 100-yard backstroke. Current senior Marie Goodwyn took home the award in that same 2017-18 season. Junior Skylar Williams won conference Diver of the Week just last month. The evidence points toward a bright future for the CSU women’s swim team. Box’s strong individual performance paired with a strong team performance showed just what the Rams are capable of at just the right time. This was the last regular season matchup for the team, and the team’s focus is now on the Mountain West Championships. The four day tournament is hosted at the Freeman Aquatic Center in Minneapolis Feb. 19-22. A livestream will be available via floswimming.com. Matt Davis can be reached at sports@collegian.com.

Yail >> from page 1 “A lot more people than I was expecting to show up came to our post-hiatus show,” Ross said. Their signature style of noisy, catchy rock music strives to highlight one thing in particular: science. Their EP “Lung Disease and Scarier Things” came out in 2018 and was met with much praise. “It’s hard to find local bands these days with such a unique sound, but the combination of Visocky’s expertise on percussion and Watkins’ passion for science and skill in creating perfect math rock riffs means Yail is not just another band to overlook,” said former Collegian writer and current local musician AJ Frankson, also known by her stage name Janet Earth. Taking a break from something one loves is never easy. This was especially the case for Visocky, drummer for Yail. On top of playing drums in Yail, Visocky also played in Bloomers, Forestry, Agony City and Covered By Water. According to Visocky, the mental stress of playing music constantly was starting to take its toll. “That really kind of scared me because I have such a deeply rooted passion for music,” Visocky said. He was faced with a choice: leave music for a while and get better or continue to create music but keep feeling weighed down.
“Our friends and peers in the community have been so supportive of our band, and it was really cool to see the amount of support and excitement built around our return.” NICK VISOCKY DRUMMER FOR YAIL
“I didn’t know if I was even going to come back to music or what was going to happen,” Visocky said. “(Watkins and Ross) agreed that I was such an integral part of the band that they wouldn’t feel right continuing without me.” Despite the fear of the unknown, Visocky took well-needed time off and came back fresh and ready to jump into music again. Going back to the beginning, Yail began as a way for Watkins to write more songs about science. He had been writing some science-based songs for his pre-

vious band, Blue Lane Frontier, but he wanted to have a platform to experiment more with them. Thus, Yail was created. “Nick (Visocky) and I recorded an album kind of as a joke, but then we were practicing and were like ‘This actually sounds kinda cool,’” Watkins said. According to Visocky, the first time he and Watkins practiced they created the five songs that comprise their EP all in the span of four hours. “It all just happened so smoothly and naturally; it was kind of unbelievable,” Visocky said. “We ended up changing the songs slightly when recording, but for the most part what you hear on the recordings was derived from that first practice.” In August 2018, Ross joined the band on bass. “I had missed playing bass a lot,” said Ross, who is also part of the local experimental band The Red Scare. “I play guitar in most of the other projects I’m in. Having an instrument that I’m not usually playing is really excellent for me.” The band is a collaborative effort between them, especially when it comes to songwriting. According to Watkins, the members of the band will write frames of songs individually, then it fully forms when they all
practice together. Often they will work together on structuring the songs while they individually write the parts for their respective instruments. But to Watkins, Ross and Visocky, their bond reaches far beyond being in a band together. “It’s nice to develop friendships with people that aren’t just like ‘Oh, I’m in a band with this person,’” Watkins said. During their gap, the three friends spent time together outside of music. This helped solidify their bond and make it much more meaningful when they came back to Yail. Watching these three on stage, one can’t help but notice their incredible chemistry and dynamics. They move perfectly in sync with one another, proving that, while a break may negatively affect some bands, Yail is thriving. “Being back has been nothing but amazing,” Visocky said. “Our friends and peers in the community have been so supportive of our band, and it was really cool to see the amount of support and excitement built around our return.” You can listen to Yail’s most recent releases on Bandcamp or catch them at any of their upcoming shows.

4 heart-skipping romance films to binge on Valentine’s Day By Scotty Powell @scottysseus
If you’re the kind of person who loves your significant other but not so much that you actually want to spend money on them, nothing says “Babe, I value you only slightly less than my bank account” quite like a nice romantic movie night at home. If you’re looking for a good, sweet cinematic sapfest to watch with your special someone this Valentine’s Day or just something to help you forget how hopelessly miserable and lonely you truly are, here are some titles to check out! 1. “Beauty and the Beast” As far as Disney’s adaptations of traditional princess stories go, “Beauty and the Beast” is undoubtedly the studio’s finest offering — even beating out the films developed by Walt Disney himself. This is because “Beauty and the Beast” is the only one where the crux of the story is centered around the development of the characters’ relationship and not merely the action in the plot. The love story here isn’t simply tacked on for the sake of enhancing the melodrama. It’s not just a supplemental addition to the protagonist’s central quest, but rather the focus of the quest itself. This, in turn, makes the film and its characters far richer, more complex and more compelling because what they are after is real. The film is willing to recognize and admit that what its characters want is in fact the same thing that the audience wants. They don’t try to dress up their objectives in glitzy, showy, exotic ends (handsome princes, exotic castles, self-actualization, etc.) — the kinds of hollow objectives that excite audience
members but fail to satisfy or fully communicate the sense of understanding they are looking for from a film. Add the film’s Academy Award-winning score, its stunning visuals and Jerry Orbach as a singing, dancing, Don Juan-esque candlestick, and you’ve got the perfect date night Disney flick.
“The love story here isn’t simply tacked on for the sake of enhancing the melodrama. It’s not just a supplemental addition to the protagonist’s central quest, but rather the focus of the quest itself.” 2. “When Harry Met Sally” We as a society are so averse to the concept of love. For proof of this, one need look no further than the opening paragraph of this listicle. And yet, no matter how much we try to distance ourselves from the feeling, no matter how much we scour through history, art and literature in search of validation for our nihilism, apathy and carelessness, love always finds us. And no film captures this quite as effectively or as memorably as “When Harry Met Sally.” What makes the film so true and so resonant is the fact that it’s a love story that is stubbornly determined not to be a love story. It seems that that is the central theory we are trying to convince ourselves of in everything we do these days — this idea that love isn’t the most important thing, that all the poets and musicians and painters and writers throughout human history have been wrong and what we’ve actually been searching for in the past 10,000 years is something much more tangible: something like power, money or a nice warm uninterrupted bubble bath. Harry and Sally’s vigorous efforts to prove to themselves that they don’t need each other in their lives, that they have
transcended their primitive longing for human connection, cuts straight to the heart of what romantic comedies are and what purpose they serve, which is to peel back the layers of symbols and signals we use to try to distinguish ourselves and our desires and expose to us how love is, ultimately, all that we truly want or desire. Harry and Sally’s anti-courtship is a love story told from the outside in — it’s not a couple’s attempt to unravel and make sense of the complications of their instinctual attraction to one another, but rather their slow and steady discovery and acceptance of that attraction.
“Harry and Sally’s vigorous efforts to prove to themselves that they don’t need each other in their lives, that they have transcended their primitive longing for human connection, cuts straight to the heart of what romantic comedies are and what purpose they serve.” 3. “The Apartment” Admittedly, if this list were compiled solely based on my own personal opinions, “The Apartment’” would be at the top of the podium. More than that. It wouldn’t even be on the podium, but rather hovering over it like a zen guru, legs crossed, hands on knees, eyes closed, softly “om”-ing to itself as it steeps in its own transcendent perfection. But, alas, I figured I should factor the general public’s opinions into my ranking, and since “The Apartment,” while not an obscure entry by any means, is not as well known or as well remembered by modern audiences as some of the other titles listed, it’s relegated to third place. But that doesn’t make it any less of a brilliant piece of art.
Following the story of C.C. Baxter, a lonely insurance worker in New York City who attempts to better his life and his career prospects by lending his shoddy apartment to his higher-ups as a space for them to engage in their extra-marital affairs, Billy Wilder’s classic, superbly written co-gedy (“cogedy” being a word I just made up to describe a comedy with tragic undertones) is one of the most authentic human love stories ever told. What makes it so spectacular is Wilder’s ability to weave topics into the plot that are serious and scandalous, especially in 1960, when the film was first released, without portraying them as mere melodrama. The film tackles depression, anxiety and even suicide in real, honest terms, yet still manages to make the simple romance at the story’s core its most compelling aspect. The lightness and the comedy are able to coexist with the tragedy without being overpowered by it, making the film one of the truest testaments to love’s endurance ever projected onto a movie screen.
“The film tackles depression, anxiety and even suicide in real, honest terms yet still manages to make the simple romance at the story’s core its most compelling aspect.” 4. “About Time” Most people credit Richard Curtis’ 2003 sap-slap “Love Actually” as the definitive romance movie of our generation. They might be correct in this assertion, but only because our generation is one defined by short attention spans and a stubborn unwillingness to commit to anything for longer than seven minutes and 22 seconds. Thus, “Love Actually’s” strobe-like cycling through its 8,000 different mini-plots, repeatedly socking us in the face with as much surface-level sen-
timent that can be contained in a two-hour run time, makes it the perfect film for us. That being said, the depth that Curtis fails to capture in “Love Actually” he more than makes up for in his 2013 time traveling tall tale, “About Time.” While the story of a young man using time travel to try to manipulate his love life might sound a bit contrived and gimmicky on the surface, the film is executed with a tenderness, authenticity and whimsy that mold its kitschy premise into a deeply touching, profound and thought-provoking piece. Curtis doesn’t let the story’s time traveling element become a mere plot device, and the movie shows reverence for the significant weight and depth that the concept of time carries with it and how integral its restrictions are to our relationships and the value we find in them.
“While the story of a young man using time travel to try to manipulate his love life might sound a bit contrived and gimmicky on the surface, the film is executed with tenderness, authenticity and whimsy.” Honorable mentions: With love of whatever kind being the sole thing that we are searching for in life and the central thing that we go to the movies to experience, it’s hard to narrow the list down to only four entries. So, here are some picks that didn’t make the final cut but are nonetheless worth a watch. ■ “It Happened One Night” ■ “As Good as It Gets” ■ “City Lights” ■ “Singin’ in the Rain” ■ “La La Land” ■ “Her” Scotty Powell can be reached at entertainment@collegian.com.

CSU to roll out red carpet for American College Theater Festival By Scotty Powell @scottysseus
If you happen to notice a bit more perkiness around town this upcoming week, don’t panic. The Stepford Wives haven’t invaded, just the thespians. Next week, Feb. 17-21, Colorado State University will be welcoming drama students from all over the western United States to the annual Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival — a weeklong celebration of all things acting, singing, dancing, design, you name it. If it’s on stage, it’s at KCACTF. Beginning in 1969, the Kennedy Center Festival seeks to create a space where emerging theater professionals from across the country can gather to showcase their work, compete for scholarships and further
develop their skills through workshops taught by industry professionals. As stated on the Kennedy Center website, “The goals of the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival are: to encourage, recognize and celebrate the finest and most diverse work produced in university and college theater programs; to provide opportunities for participants to develop their theater skills and insight and achieve professionalism; to improve the quality of college and university theater in America; (and) to encourage colleges and universities to give distinguished productions of new plays, especially those written by students; the classics, revitalized or newly conceived; and experimental works.” With keynote addresses from drag queen Khrys’taaal and costume designer Susan

Songs to get you in the mood for Valentine’s Day By Arrion Smith @arriesmith_
Valentine’s Day can mean a different range of emotions. The corny, lovey dovey, heartshaped-candy-eating mood is considered V-Day canon, but this cheery optimism isn’t felt by everyone. Some are in love, some are bitterly single and some are just living their best life. Regardless of what you’re feeling, there is sure to be a song out there that matches your emotions. Here are a few songs for those in all areas and perspectives on love: from the utterly smitten to the totally jaded. For falling in love: Raveena- “Headaches” You may come across someone that you weren’t expecting to come into your life and leave an impression. With this, though, always comes the unknown and the fear of falling too hard and getting hurt. Raveena is talking about this in her song “Headaches.” Unexpected and exciting love is what I know some of us wish we had on Valentine’s Day. We want someone who keeps us on our toes and in the unknown of what is going to come out of this love. Raveena’s “Headaches” emulates just this — she pairs a sweet melody with a soft guitar to create a colorful and happy song, making you feel a sense of fun in new love. “I wasn’t in the mood for love/ But you’re quite funny/ I see that you want me” is the start of the first verse in “Headaches.” Raveena is singing about the feeling of wanting to be single but having that single independence ruined by an unexpected love interest. “Don’t play with my heart/ I’m tryna be smart,” Raveena sings, referring to the fear of falling too hard for someone and the unknown of relationships and love. If your crush won’t stop playing: SG Lewis x Clairo- “Better” Many people want to be boo’d on this day of love, but
unfortunately some people have to deal with unclear signals from their crush. Clairo’s soft sound paired with SG Lewis’ DJing on “Better” creates a fun and chill sound that naturally makes you want to dance. Even though the song is talking about an unreliable love interest, it still has a glint of hopefulness. “I know it isn’t right/ You creep into the night,” Clairo sings, acknowledging that the person that she likes only comes around when it is convenient for them, and she knows that she could be getting played. “Maybe you want a friend/ Maybe not in this life/ Why is it so hard, hard to please you/ All I wanted was you in my room,” she says, meaning the timing may be off, but she wants to see where things go. In this song, Clairo laments that she has put in work to show that she likes this person but can’t understand their intentions. It’s the modern “This could be us, but you playin’” for soft indie fans. Clairo is just asking her potential boo if they could try a little harder because she has been putting in the work. This song is quite relatable for those who are crushing hard but can’t seem to get anywhere with their love interest. For those who are jaded: Joji- “Run” Unfortunately, around this sweet and loving time, some may be a little sad and jaded about their love life. Falling out of love and getting your heart broken around Valentine’s Day is less than ideal. Joji’s new single “Run” is the perfect song for this jaded pain. The song talks about knowing that your significant other is falling out of love with you and the pain that you’re left feeling while they go on, leaving you confused. In the chorus, “I know you’re not in love, like you used to be,” Joji talks about how he realized that his significant other is no longer wanting to be in this relationship. Joji talks about running away from the feeling of losing someone that he loves so dearly — hence the title, “Run.” The artist is known for his sad and dark pop sound tied together with deep and truthful lyrics. This is a perfect song for those feeling a little sad on this Valentine’s Day due to a recent heartbreak. Sometimes you really do just have to cry it out and listen to some Joji on Valentine’s Day.
For single livin’: Adult Mom- “Be Your Own 3am” For single folks on V-Day, there are two options: either wallow and be a sad single or boss up and live your best single life. Adult Mom’s “Be Your Own 3am” is for those who may have experienced a recent heartbreak but are ready to live their life again and do their own thing as a new single. Adult Mom’s tasty soft punk sound is angelic and soothing. The beginning of the song is talking about the heartbreak that the artist is facing. She says “I took my shoes off, crawled into bed/ Thought I had nothin’ left.” Many people have had their heart broken into pieces so bad that they would rather lay in bed and forget about everything that is going on. Adult Mom is not wallowing though; she is getting herself out of bed and planning to live a new single life. “Now I hold my own hands in crowds of bands and my friends/ Jan always says to me, ‘You gotta be your own 3am,’” she sings. Adult Mom urges her listeners to know their worth despite the debris of a broken heart, but she reminds them that there is so much more than that. Even though you may be single, you have the ones that love you and things that make you feel like the bad b*tch you are. For ride or dies: Vince Staples, 6LACK, Mereba- “Yo Love” Some people really just deserve it all, and you know you’d do anything for them. If the love that you have is rare and something worth fighting for, “Yo Love” by Vince Staples, 6LACK and Mereba, made for the “Queen & Slim” soundtrack, may be a song to listen to this V-Day. It’s a hip-hop and new R&B sound for the “ride or die” lovers. 6LACK starts off the chorus with “I’d do life for your love/ I would probably swing a knife for your love.” It’s a rather serious sentiment, but it’s a great metaphor to show how much he would do to keep the love of his life. “Go against everything right for your love,” 6LACK continues, solidifying this song as the perfect tune for “ride or die” couples — those who are willing to literally do anything to fight for their valentine.
